US and ROC aren't the ones doing the saber rattling here.
This is the
US Embassy statement that supports One China Policy and does not support Taiwan Independence:
"On Taiwan, our approach has been consistent across decades and administrations. As the President has said, our policy has not changed. The United States remains committed to our “one China” policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three Joint Communiques, the Six Assurances. We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side; we do not support Taiwan independence; and we expect cross-strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means."
From time to time, we hear that the beasts attack some people who are not assigned to care for the zoo animals! Somehow they don't acknowledge the dangers of those beasts and would cross over the visitor's barriers and get close next to those cages.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi didn't care and visited Taiwan anyhow despite China's opposition.
After her, the current House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, will visit Taiwan in 2023.
The Ukrainians and NATO aren't the ones doing the saber rattling on the other end of the continent either.
James Bake told Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would stop expanding eastward once NATO is allowed to expand to East Germany: "If you let your part of Germany go, we will move NATO not one inch eastward."
50 American foreign policy leaders, wrote to President Bill Clinton in 1997 that pushing NATO’s borders eastward would be “a policy error of historic proportions. We believe that NATO expansion will decrease allied security and unsettle European stability … In Russia, NATO expansion, which continues to be opposed across the entire political spectrum, will strengthen the nondemocratic opposition, undercut those who favor reform and cooperation with the West, bring the Russians to question the entire post-Cold War settlement, and galvanize resistance in the Duma …”
Those warnings were ignored and James Baker's statement was violated as NATO kept expanding eastward.
That's because the US doesn't take Russia seriously (remember those zoo attacks above?) because Russia is perceived as weak and can't fight back.
However, even when the enemies are weak, war is unpredictable, and it is best to settle an issue diplomatically rather than provoke each other into war.
